7 of Miranda Kerr's Best Style Tips of All Time

There’s never a dull moment when it comes to Miranda Kerr’s off-duty style. We are longtime fans of her ability to dress up a casual outfit and look chic while managing day-to-day responsibilities like grocery shopping and looking after a 5-year-old—not to mention her knack for appearing perfectly polished while traveling. Today, in celebration of the Aussie native’s 33rd birthday, we present you with her greatest words of fashion wisdom. Read on for Kerr’s timeless style tips.

“My Nan has always been a style icon for me. … She taught me that you don’t need to have a lot of money to have style. It’s the way you put things together and how you carry yourself,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

“I always think that you need a wardrobe of beautiful white dresses for summer. White is so uplifting and looks great on everyone whatever your skin tone,” she told Grazia. “I really do like a long, flowing dress, the kind you can put a swimsuit on underneath, the beach-to-coffeehouse kind of thing.”

“I like it to fit my individual body shape, and I encourage other women to find what works for their body shape and not necessarily follow trends. But what is it that works for you as an individual, and what brings out the best in you, and what can you have fun with and feel really good about,” she told Glamour.

“I think fashion is a great way to express yourself in whatever mood you’re feeling that day,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m a very tactile person, so I appreciate different fabrics. Things that feel good and don’t crease too easily!”

“I love handbags. And shoes. Investing in a great handbag or a pair of shoes can really make or break an outfit,” she told Glamour. “It’s fun to mix and match high street with luxury brands and throw in a bit of vintage as well.”
